The Inquirer ^ | July 14, 2018 | Devlin Barrett and

... As Mueller faces the task of resolving that piece of his inquiry – as well as his examination of whether President Donald Trump has sought to obstruct the probe – people familiar with the investigation said the special counsel is pushing to wrap up a significant portion of his investigative work by the end of summer. ... Mueller has discussed scenarios for winding down at least some of his office’s work in the coming months, the people said, emphasizing that the special counsel views his primary responsibility to be investigating – not necessarily prosecuting – any wrongdoing linked to the Russian interference efforts.

I don’t think this “work” will ever be wrapped up. Twenty years from now, Robert Mueller III will still be investigating things. Like if Trump’s grandson ever used Russian dressing on a salad.

“ABSOLVE President Trump BEFORE mid-term elections!”

Onyx, that has to happen, but President Trump has to figure out how to be personally involved. This whole mess really started with his picking Sessions. Rosenstein and Wray. They have proven to be terrible picks, and collectively they are killing him one cut at a time. He’s doing a stellar job policy-wise, and in keeping his election promises, but this deal with the DOJ has to come to an end, and it needs to happen now!

How much are these lawyers being paid per hour?

The longer this farce goes on, the bigger the nest egg?

When/if it ends, will they get severance pay? Maybe federal retirement pay while they continue private practice?

Stall and delay......almost finished......same old story....

Yes, he will finish after midterms if the dem’s win.

If GOP loses, he will keep investigating until he’s fired or 2020.

Trump can declassify the documents related to the 0bama regime spying and subversive activities against him. He should remind the deep state that this is a coup attempt and that anyone destroying evidence or holding up an October public release will be considered an accomplice and will be executed before the election.

Notice every time things get hairy, Mueller is about to wrap it up and the NEW deadline keeps being announced publicly.

This is the biggest crock of crap I have ever heard.

And, the GOP threatens to go along with dems and impeachment if POTUS fires him?

And, Session’s allows Rosenstein to not fire Mueller?

And POTUS can’t fire Session’s because Rosenstein would become AG and it would be even worse.

This is beyond ridiculous.

+++++++++++++++
I told my wife the same thing a few days ago. So I absolutely agree with you. The only caveat that I would add is that I don’t expect the firings will happen before the November election even if Mueller clears him sooner. Possible but unlikely.

OBVIOUSLY Mueller knows the calendar regarding the November elections and is not about to let Trump off before then - more likely, after spending weeks waterboarding Manafort, he gets Manafort to sing, or rather compose, and then slams Trump with a bunch of indictments...just as early voting starts.

But OBVIOUSLY also, Trump knows this full well. So watch the Rosenstein show next week. If he gets impeached by the House, then Trump has the backing he needs to fire him. And then, hopefully, whoever does take his place will put an end to Mueller, once and for all.

They want to have this investigation go on as long as possible. As soon as it’s over they will have no excuse to turn over the documents they say they can’t turn over now because of the on going investigation.

If there is no evidence of US involvement that means no evidence of Trump involvement. If no evidence, how were FISA approvals made and how was a special council appointed?

Mueller, Rosenstein and Weissman are going to stretch out this corrupted investigation until the Fall elections because they feel it will weaken Trump and his administration, and will give the Democrats more seats I n Congress to cripple the President and his programs.

If Mueller starts to wind down now, it will be an admission that he hasn’t found squat on the non-crime of “Russian collusion”, which he should have found for the uninvestigated “Democrat Party/Clintonista Collusion with the Russians” from day one of “Dossiergate”.

Mueller is a legend in his own mind, but so far I haven’t seen much to give him even the status of “job well done” at anything. His ignoring, by stupidity, cupidity, blindness or design, of what Obama did with “Laborov” the Russian Foreign Minister”, the secret acts of treason with Iran, the cowardice over the Red Line in Syria, security risks on his White House team/advisors/staff, and his open embrace of Castro, would be enough have him fired for “dereliction of duty” and “political collusion/corruption with the Clintons and Obama”, if not actually fired for sheer incompetence, coverups and lying about everything he had his dirty fingers in.

Time to subpoena Weissman, McCabe (if he hasn’t been already), and eventually Mueller, to answer questions in Executive Session, as to why they did nothing about the Obama/Clinton corrupt crime family and treasonous acts from 2009 thru 2016.

I have a gut feeling that there is much more out there about Mueller’s machinations that people haven’t heard about or even thought about, but his manner of operating stinks to high heaven. Somewhere along the line, Congress has to ask Mueller about his varied “collusions” with America’s domestic enemies, political crooks, foreign agents, and the Democrat Party.

If you look like a skunk, smell like a skunk, and walk like a skunk, you’re either a skunk, a Democrat Party ally, or both.

The stench is overwhelming out of the Mueller, Weissman, McCabe, and Rosenstein nest of weasels and rodents. Time to shake the bushes and see what kind of criminality falls out.

I’m counting the days until Mueller and his entire deep state posse goes on trial.

I was thinking more along the lines of getting the President large majorities in the House and Senate and turn him loose to give this country a good swamp-draining and fill up the Federal pens with all these azzholes........;)
